Rishi Sunak says 'no one wants an election' in interview ahead of Tory Party conference speech

Sky News’ Political Editor Beth Rigby asks Rishi Sunak if he will "go to the country" because he has not done so and is being required to make huge decisions that will affect the future of the UK.

The prime minister insists he is delivering for the people, adding he is prepared to make long-term difficult decisions such as scrapping some net zero targets.

Everyone in the UK: "We want an election NOW"
Rishi Sunak: "no one wants an election"

There’s only one reason why a billionaire takes a 180k salary a year to run the country and it’s not to the serve “the best interest of the people”

[mattwright]

He's so disconnected from reality is actually embarrassing.

[RS-jblf]

Credit to Beth Rigby. She refused to allow Sunak to gaslight her. We can all see he is an absolute failure.

[paulburton]

I want an election!! The sooner this dreadful government goes, the better!!

[Torbjorn_Main]

Dear Rishi

We all want the general election immediately.

Sunak will not be "Mr. nice guy" if he is elected as PM for 5 years - so beware! Just remember the 13 years of austerity, with nothing positive to show for our suffering, which will continue to go on and on and on, if the Tories are re elected - and say a final goodbye to the NHS.

Apart from the few people Rishi met - We All Want An Election.

[toriesout]

He seems to know what people want without ever asking them.

Nobody wants a general election, eh! An authoritarian way of saying nobody is having a general election. If we were a proper democracy, we would be heard. Nobody voted for Sunak to be PM. Everybody should get a choice of whether they want Sunak and his party in Government. A General Election IS want we want, and what we need!

[NewLeftToday]

He lies even more boldly than Boris, a truly incredible feat

[smileawhile]

I have no spring in my step. I'm utterly depressed. I want a general election now.

[cliffhughes]

That was a nightmare for the PM. He was afraid to leave a gap for Beth to speak.

[terryhayward]

"No one wants an election" ??? why not ask the people. we DO want an election.

[nigelaspley]

He definitely does things differently, this man is deluded and doesn't ever think of anyone else but himself,

[KingCharles]

2:08 “tired of short term decisions” - as if scrapping the Manchester HS2 section isn’t about meeting short term finance needs rather than a long term strategy for levelling up

[starmersbarber]

"I go out and about every day". He's welcome to have a Glasgow City Centre walkabout anytime....followed by a rally in front of his adoring fans in George Square.

[Essexyeoman]

I’m so sick of politicians that can’t answer a single reasonable question.

Rishi ‘I do things differently, I lie to your face’
